house and outbuildings, with fences
shrubbery, flower and vegetable gardens
and orchards to correspond. always tend
to materially enhance the value of farm.
OF course, there are other items of equal
or greater importance in estimating the
value of farm. The first is it's fertility
or productive capacity. The man who
increases the fertility of his acres.
thereby increasing their yield annually,
adds to their money value and advances
tho real worth of his premises CORE
spondingly. This is matter TO which
too little attention is given by many
farmers. They go on carelessly and neg
ligently, allowing the soil to degenerate
from year to ear, when by adopting i'm
proved methods of culture and manage
ment, the result would be the increase of
fertility and productiveness. And may
we not attribute the expression farming
don't pay" to the fact that there are 10
many careless, negligent and indoleut
farmers! Let us urge upon all engaged
in rural pursuits the advantage of max
ing every season such permanent i'm
provements rs will tell in the future.
Just what Improvements shall be in
augurated, or how they shall be carried
out, each person must determine for
himself, taking into consideration his
circumstances and the condition and
necessities of his farm. While one farm
needs better building or fences, or both,
another needs enrichment of the soil by
fertilizing, rotation of crops, &c. Every
farmer whatever his specially whether
grain growing, dairying, grazing, fruit
culture or some other branch Of hus-
bandry-knows what is his most urgent
need in the line of improvements, and
should make efforts in that direction.

PURE WATER CURE.

The want of strictly pure water, de-
feet every day aggravated by our thick
ening population is one of the potent
conditions of the rapidly growing prevail
ence of kidney diseases. The natural
remedy is thus described by Professor
Charles Mayr,-"Those who never drank
pure water do not realize what an effect
such water has upon the kidneys; its
effect is better than that of acetates,
nitrates, opiates or alcohol, and for peo-
pie with tendency of kidney disease or
dropsy there is no better drug than pure
water. OF the thousands of chemicals
compounds and waste products found in
the human system, may require pure
water for their solution and elimination

VERDICT AT'LAsr.
Coroner West's Report on the Murder Of
Detective Hulligan.

Coroner West's Report on the Murder Of
Detective Hulligan.
CLEVELAND o., Feb. 21.-COrOner West
has completed the secret inquiry into
the death Of Detective Hulligan and on
Saturday morning rendered his verdict.
Only few witnesses we're eXsmined
and they all seemed chary In describing
the brutal murderefs. Charles Birres, 8
railway emplOye, gave description Of
the smoking car In which the Ravenna
tragedy occurred, and produced o bullet
he had found near the. door OF tue coach.
The testimony of R3v. Carl Weiss, of No.
1888 HarbOr street, an eyewitness to the
assault OF the fur robbers. did not differ
from his account OF the murder already
published.
Louis OhligeF and Baggagemaster
Kenney offered the only new testimony,
and that Is of importance only In show
ing that MCMunn, the rescued prisoner,
was in the conspiracy. Kenney testified
that when the train reached Alliance
he saw q man alight from the Pittsburg,
Ft. Wayne & Chicago train and walk to
the smoking car on the opposite side
from the depot. he stopped before the
window at which the prisoner sat and
attracted attention by raising his hands
several times The robber then went t !
the rear platform and entered the car on
tiptoe. Hulligan's back was toward
him, and the man repeated his motions
Ind then silently Withdrew to the ladies'
car.
Ksnney went 10 the depot lunch room
and told Captain Hoehn of the strange
tiOns Of the man. The Captain left
his lunch and went 10 the car. He
could find nothing amlss. but he did not
leave the train again. Conductor Ohli-
ger cOrrobOrated Kenney's story By re-
peating an interview With Captain
HOehn. The result Of the post-mOrtsm
and DR.. D. B. Smiths detailed report of
his treatment Of the detective were In
cluded In the testimony as we'll as the
story of Maud Smith, q woman who saw
the robbers In the ladies' car.
